WHO IS HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE

March 14, 2011 By ssherayko Leave a Comment

Anyone who reads my blogs must have an idea that I’ve been a fan of Napoleon Hill for decades. It began with his quote: “Anything the human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Likewise, I mention that according to The Law of Success, all the principles of success can work for anyone as long as they have a purpose and a plan. As a coach, that translates first and foremost into identifying what people want – their purpose. Before we can make any progress, we have to create the vision.

Not that I want to beat a dead horse, but we have to see where people are and where they want to go. Bob Proctor, who began his stellar career through the study of Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich, is known for this expression. He developed a program in his learning system called The Goal Achiever. A first step in the personal development process, it is an excellent program to determine what your goals are.

Then it’s time for a process that leads to those goals. Preparing the plan is not just an exercise in goal setting. It is also part of coming to believe that what we envision is possible. Belief and faith are important aspects of the Attitude we need to move to the next level. When we cannot see ‘how’ we will attain our goals, it is easy to become discouraged and give up, but a plan provides us with tangible Actions we can take to achieve the specific goals that lead to the accomplishment of our purpose.

Why is it then that even when armed with marvelous plans, we fail to Achieve? David Byrd and Mark Smith write that it is failing to persist in the small actions that are needed every day in order to be successful, the 5 things that Jack Canfield talks about in creating Chicken Soup for the Soul. And why do we fail to persist? We don’t have a system for Accountability.

The idea behind accountability is that someone listens to your goals and action plans, records your target dates and then helps you stay aware of your progress toward your goal through some means of regular communication. Just knowing that someone is going to expect you to accomplish something by a given date is a strong incentive to get the tasks done on time. Knowing this, network marketing organizations have built accountability into their management systems to help their colleagues perform better. Although we can do this on our own, it is greatly facilitated by working with a coach or mentor. Conversely, being able to meander toward your goals delays their accomplishment. It is so easy to put things off and let procrastination rule the day. Given enough delay, the goals you have set for yourself may lose all their energy and be forgotten entirely.

So if you had an opportunity to use an intensive accountability program to significantly accelerate your progress toward your goals, would you be interested? It’s common to use 30 Day Challenges in coaching programs. Many sales training programs are built around 90 Day cycles. And the “Goals Guy” is reported to be helping people make incredible progress by utilizing a special 100 day accountability process.

Perhaps you would benefit from signing up for a program or a business with strong personal development training that would help you break through the issues that were holding you back in a given area. I have several people in my life who help me be accountable – when I’m learning something new like e-commerce or undertaking a new income stream.

What would you want to change in your life? What’s holding you back? What new skill could empower you to new possibilities? You may want to find an accountability coach, both to ask questions that help you discover the next bold step toward your goal as well as to hold your hand and help you to reach new heights. Happy flying!

Testimonials

  • “When the Producers Guild of America merged with the American Producers of America, limited benefits were available for a fast growing membership. Susan Sherayko stepped in and created the most successful enrichment programs possible for the PGA. She became the Chairperson of the Seminar programs and was able to offer the membership an opportunity to learn the essentials of how to be a better producer of TV, Motion Pictures and Syndication for many leaders and icons in our industry. The subject matter was vast as each seminar attempted to instruct the producers in a vast array of subjects. Susan produced or was responsible for the vision of this stellar committee. Turnout of attendees for these seminars was consistently gratifying in both in numbers and approvals. The legacy of Susan’s organizational skills and execution is exemplified by the continuing programs being offered today for the PGA membership…now over 4000 members strong. Thanks, Susan, I personally enjoyed attending your seminars and afterwards felt more confident and wiser. ”

  • “What I appreciate about you is your sincere and great generosity of spirit. You have an almost unlimited tolerance for the foibles of others and manage to find humor in some of the most trying circumstances. I can always count on you to give me an honest, balanced assessment of whatever is happening privately or globally. You never stagnate. You’re always seeking ways to make your life better and more meaningful. That is inspirational to me.”

    Susan Scudder
    Actress, Casting Director
  • “A modern-day Siddhartha. Rainbows Over Ruins walks you through a spiritual journey that is not focused on the ‘out there’ but more on the ‘in here.’ How do we transition from one phase of our lives while allowing ourselves to grow from what we have learned from the past? Susan helps you help yourself.”

    Wileen Charles
    Founder, Starseed Foundation
  • “Calm, Serenity, Wisdom, Patience, Empathy. These are the characteristics that I think of, when I think of you. Throughout our relationship, you have always “shared only and freely” with me. You have never been judgmental (of anyone really) or unkind with words. Your ability to take in all the information surrounding a situation, process it in a kind, loving and logical way and then interpret the information back in such a way that I feel that I too can learn and grow from the experience, whether it was mine or not. Susan, I believe that you are a conduit, maybe not the right word…a channel…o.k. I laymen’s terms, you are the glue that holds us all together. If I were ever in a crisis…I’d want you to be with me more than anyone I know.”

    Toni Casala
    Owner, Children in Film
